Qin's place is very clean. Although we never met her she communicated very well and made sure to know everything was good for us. Only drawback is that you can hear the neighbors a bit (and they can probably hear you). Otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

Matias2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Built in 1962, this architectural gem with all it's original features makes you feel like you are truly walking into a 'mad men' set.

The house is fully furnished, has cork floors throughout and floor to ceiling windows. Original and uncorrupted this space is an experience unto itself.
The whole back of the house opens onto an entertaining deck and backyard with timber panelling throughout and the bedrooms are all queen size. The bedroom itself has a queen sized bed and built in wardrobe with plenty of storage.
We have a young, happy, professional household who enjoy each others company and are open to people and new experiences.
This is an LGBQTI friendly household.

Located in Deakin next door to the Lodge, Conveniently located in close to most of the major attractions in Canberra: Parliament House, Old Parliament House, National Gallery, National Library, The Lodge, National Museum, Lake Griffith, Manuka and many more.
Manuka shops is 5 minute drive, 30 minute walk and has a coles, movie theatre, lots of cafes and a shopping district.
Deakin shops is a lot smaller but has an IGA, post office, newsagency, a great cafe and locale pizza place.
Canberra city is 7 minute drive if you wanted to explore the city or Lonsdale Street, Braddon!

Excellent accomodation, Mandy is a superb host. The house does not disappoint. It is probably one of the most interesting places to (architecturally) stay in Canberra. Location is v. convenient in relation to govt departments, probably a 20 min walk from high court etc, which was perfect for me. Looking forward to staying there again!

Benedict2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Many is an excellent host. I wasn't around much due to working late, but she was very lovely and accommodating. The room was comfortable and she let me help myself to breakfast. It was also lovely coming home late to find that the heater was on in my room, so it was very comfortable :)

In an exceptional location 2.5km from Parliament, overlooking Red Hill Nature Park and the Federal Golf course. Kangaroos regularly visit the garden.
The suite is part of a house but has a private entry. It has its own sitting room, bedroom, ensuite, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, kettle, breakfast nook, desk and deck and there's airconditioning, off-street parking and WiFi.
Complimentary tea, coffee, breakfast cereals and milk.

Your suite is a dedicated guest area with lockable doors. Crockery and cutlery are provided.
You look out over bushland and the golf course but there are three restaurants (Red Hill Lookout Restaurant, Little Brother, and the Federal Golf Club restaurant) within 500 metres walk. Yellow-tailed black cockatoos, little corellas, tawny frogmouths, wood ducks and satin bowerbirds are occasional visitors. The more familiar white cockatoos, galahs, crested pigeons, magpies, kookaburras, mudlarks, and noisy miners are usually around.
Parliament is 2.5km as the crow flies, a little further if you follow the paths through the Park by bike or on foot. If you are driving, it's much further because you have to skirt around the Park.

This part of Garran is leafy and very safe. Many locals walk in the evening as well as during the day.
Red Hill Nature Park occupies a geographically central position in Canberra/Queanbeyan. It's one of the few remaining substantial remnants of endangered yellow box-red gum grassy woodland. The Park is crisscrossed by paths which make for interesting walks - or rides, for the more adventurous. There are usually one or two mobs of eastern-grey kangaroos in the Park.
There are excellent views of Canberra from various parts of the Park but especially from the restaurant, from Red Hill (500m to the north) and Mount Davidson (1km to the south).
Marked walking trails have signs describing the wildlife, geology and ecology of the Park. You'll find a wealth of information about the Park on the website of the Red Hill Regenerators. Matthew and Richard are both members of the Regenerators.
The two nearby restaurants are readily accessible by foot. The Golf Club welcomes visitors, either for a game or to use the restaurant.
Further afield, but still in easy riding distance, are the trendy restaurants and bars of Manuka.

An impeccable suite with a touch of luxury! Richard was a wonderful host who explained all the useful information about the apartment. Although it was the middle of a Canberra winter I was warm and snug. The breakfast provided had many cereals and beverages to choose from. A very peaceful setting in an idyllic setting. Highly recommended.

Annie2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Richard was a warm and attentive host, well worthy of his superhost status. The place was clean, comfortable and well equipped. While not being at the centre of the city, it is a great location to enjoy all that Canberra has to offer being not too far from any of the major attractions and also boasting an abundance of beautiful wildlife.

Michelle2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

Quit place, surrounded by nature. Richard is a great host. Room is clean, equipped with all necessary amenities. Bathroom is a top as well as the view.

Zdenka2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

We highly recommend this place over the other places, if you like quite yet centrally located, absolutely clean and comfortable stay. Richard is a great host and a very humble & kind person to talk to. We had an awesome time there.

This was a great spot to chill out and the space was very comfortable. Richard was a wonderful host who gave us the freedom to either mingle if we wished or keep to ourselves.

Rod2017-03-02T00:00:00Z

Richard and Matthew were great hosts. It is a super clean, quiet and private master room with a rather fancy shower. We enjoyed the stay and we recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Canberra. See you next time :)

We enjoyed our brief visit to Canberra especially because of the uncomplicated organizing of check-in and out but also due to the comfortable room/bed and quiet neighborhood. The accommodation is located perfectly in walking distance to Parliament, embassies etc. But if You are looking for restaurants, bars and night life in near surrounding, Kingston or Braddon might be the preferred suburbs for You in Canberra.

Cheng is an honest guy and a friendly host. His place is amazing, you have everything you need. Honestly, he thought about everything (including a guide on how to use his espresso machine - which makes incredibly good coffee). He was flexible to work with and he would go above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. I arrived early in the morning and he would see to it that I could get into bed straight away. Canberra thrives on local communities and Cheng will give you insider information where all the local events are. He is a lovely host whom would make sure I would feel at home in Canberra.

My stay at Cheng's place was by far the best experience I've had on Airbnb so far. Cheng and his partner were incredibly friendly and hospitable, and the home itself is really clean and comfortable, in fact more so than many hotels I've stayed at. And if you like nature then all you have to do is go for a walk or run through the nature reserve behind the apartment to spot a ton of kangoeroes. A wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend his home to anyone visiting Canberra!

Why drive anywhere? This expansive stately home is located in 'Old Deakin' - one of the original suburbs of Canberra. Nestled in established gardens it sits within easy walking distance of the Grammar Schools, Parliamentary Triangle and fashionable Manuka. Be captured by Canberra and Canberra's history.

This is a beautiful and expansive house ideal for family or group get togethers, business meetings and when parliament is sitting - all of you ministerial support crew.

Old Deakin is a short walk away from Parliament House (we are just off Melbourne Avenue), the Lodge and key government departments and tourist sights.

This comfortable two bedroom apartment will feel like a luxurious home away from home.
Hughes is a leafy, established suburb located 7 to 15 minutes drive from many of Canberra's main attractions, and 5 minutes drive from Canberra Hospital.

You'll find our spacious apartment is light and airy, and is in a very quiet location. Recently refurbished you'll be very comfortable.
Close to all the major attractions of Canberra, it is also a short walk to a great bakery/patisserie & cafe at the local shops, and is a 10 minute walk to Woden Town Centre.
It is ideal for couples and families, and is the perfect base for holidays or work.
Reverse cycle air conditioning means you'll be snug in winter and cool in summer. The spacious main bedroom has a King bed, as does the second bedroom - each of which can be split into 2 king single beds. Both bedrooms have large built in wardrobes.
In the lounge there is a comfortable queen size sofa bed - let me know if you need this bed and I'll provide linen.
The apartment is at the back of the White House, with access down the east side of the house and up a ramp onto the deck. Entry to the apartment is through the glass sliding door.
The apartment faces north and opens onto a good sized deck, with a shade sail on one side. It is private and separate from the neighbours who are lovely, respectful and quiet.

The Neighbourhood
Hughes is a beautiful, leafy, established suburb in Canberra's Woden Valley. It's close to the Woden Town Centre with cinemas, restaurants, cafes, shops and even a skate park on the way.
It is centrally located, and is 7 - 15 minutes drive from many Canberra attractions, including the Australian Museum, National Gallery, the High Court, new and old Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, and Floriade (September / October). I keep a supply of brochures on Canberra's main attractions available for your use.
It is also 15 minutes drive from Canberra Stadium, and is a few minutes drive (or 15 minutes walk) from Canberra Hospital.

The unit was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. We stayed with our two young children and there was plenty of room. Chris had left breakfast essentials which were excellent and the location was perfect for visiting our relatives in Canberra. I would highly recommend this unit and would stay again.

A really lovely well looked after and welcoming place to stay. We stayed here for a week after emigrating to Canberra and thoroughly enjoyed it. Chris is very welcoming and gave us plenty of advice to help us get around. We would thoroughly recommend staying at the white house.

Helen2015-09-12T00:00:00Z

Our stay at the White House was excellent. We are a family of five and it served our needs very well. The house was immaculate and had all the amenities, including a coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine etc. It was very well heated and everything was in excellent working order. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Chris for making our stay so easy.

Rachael2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

Chris' place was extremely comfortable and well equipped particularly if you want to cook. The netflix was a nice addition to enjoy relaxing. Chris was very helpful and attentive and gave complete privacy.

Alexandra2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

The White House was very private, had a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and most importantly cosy warm on those chilly nights. I'd recommend chris' place to any travelers. Only suggestion is that you'll need a car to get around.

Lara2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We had a hire car & the location of the White House is only a few minutes away from many of Canberra's attractions. Canberra is pretty cold in winter particularly at night however this place was warm with lots of comfortable bedding & provided plenty of room for the 3 of us. It's also private, functional & provides many conveniences to make your stay seamless such as continental breakfast, wifi & Netflix. It is also suitable for those with reduced mobility (we had our 82 years young mum with us). Thanks Chris for a very comfortable stay!

Leanne2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

Chris made us feel welcome. The apartment was clean, tidy and looked just like it did in the advertisement picture. The location is just a few minutes out of town and was central to most of Canberra's main attractions. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living areas were great and the property was suitable for both able bodied and mobility impaired guests. We highly recommend this property! Thanks Chris.

John is a lovely man and great host, most welcoming and helpful. I was able to park my car straight away, the room and ensuite are large and comfortable. Overall, it was like staying with an old friend. The location is very convenient, there's good restaurants and a pub nearby. This is a very good listing!

Jane2016-03-31T00:00:00Z

John was extremely hospitable making my stay very easy. His amiable nature made me feel like I was visiting family. He even dropped off some items I left behind on my last day!!

Fiona2016-02-10T00:00:00Z

John was warm and accommodating. The room and en suite are very large and comfortable with heaps of storage space.

Alex2015-01-15T00:00:00Z

John was very helpful, gave us an extra bed as we were three, and all the information we needed. We liked it so much we stayed one more night. The flat in 5 minutes walk from the Parliament and John provided us a parking place in the garage as well. I would recommend this place to anybody.

Kristyna2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

John is a lovely man, who's very hospitable. Though my time there was very brief, he strived to make me feel very comfortable.

Elisa2015-02-11T00:00:00Z

John was very welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed our quick trip to Canberra.

Emma2015-12-21T00:00:00Z

John was very nice and knowledgable. We were not there very long, only overnight. The bedroom was clean and simple and the bathroom was spacious.

Welcome to a beautiful private oasis in Canberra, ten minutes drive from Parliament House, galleries and museums. Enjoy your own ensuite bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities, microwave, fridge and a luxurious new Queen bed. Please note there is no kitchen use connected with this listing. There is free safe street parking available.

I was lucky enough to enjoy a two night stay at Heather's home. The area is lovely and quiet with plenty of parking for our two cars. A separate entrance to the house allowed us to come and go without feeling like we were disturbing our friendly and welcoming host. The room and en-suite were exceptionally clean. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and fitted with an electric blanket which was a treat hopping in late at night. The bathroom was modern with a disabled friendly aspect. I am currently on crutches after leg surgery and found the bedroom and bathroom ideal for my current situation. There are five stairs leading to the front door but I was able to manage this easily. Heather was easy to contact and very hospitable, the home only a short drive to Woden town centre and I will certainly be asking to stay again.

Michelle2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

A peaceful, sanctuary for visitors to Canberra, in a spacious, well-equipped, and very clean BnB.

neil2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

Heather's place is so lovely and clean, and very comfortable indeed. She was gracious in allowing us to check in quite late, and very helpful in suggesting places to visit in Canberra. We did however think it was relatively central, but it's somewhat far out & we did have to use ubers as our main source of transport. We had a truly wonderful time all in all!

Sekesai2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

Heather was an absolutely lovely host. She was welcoming and friendly and her home was quiet, warm and very clean. The fridge, kettle, microwave, cutlery and crockery etc, are an added bonus. The room large and ensuite bathroom modern. Highly recommended!

Lauren2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Heather's place was lovely. The room felt brand new and still had a lot of character, the bathroom was beautiful and the electric blanket was a massive plus on -5 degree nights! Would definitely stay here again!

Luke2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

Heather was a great host and graciously accommodated my last minute booking and late arrival. The room and bed were very comfortable and warm even though the weather outside was cold. I'll be back next time I visit Canberra. Thanks for a great stay.

Andrew2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

Highly recommend this beautiful Airbnb! Extremely clean and spacious room. Great location. The host is very friendly and helpful. Thanks again heather for a great time.

It sits across from the Old Bus Depot Markets, the Old Kingston shops and Kingston Foreshore two minutes walking in different directions, National Art Gallery ten minutes walking by the lake, Portrait Gallery another two minutes walking and the National Library of Australia another eight minutes after that. In the Parliament Triangle, about 2.5km from Parliament House.

My stay at Ricardo's house was fantastic. Communication was great, the room was exactly as described, and the location was perfect; close to transport, shops and restaurants. Ricardo was a really welcoming host and made me feel very much at home in his home. I would not hesitate to stay at Ricardo's again.

Michela2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

Ricardo is the best Airbnb host I've ever come across. He was so welcoming even before I arrived - great communication from the very start. His home is beautifully and tastefully renovated in the heart of Kingston. It's so close to the Kingston Foreshore and I loved my early morning walks before work along Lake Burley Griffin. I will recommend Ricardo and his fabulous apartment to all my friends and family.

Susie2016-05-06T00:00:00Z

Ricardo's place is in a great location (I was visiting Parliament House), handy to restaurants and is clean and private. The bathroom is beautiful and the bed very comfortable. Ricardo was welcoming and friendly, thanks for a lovely stay Ricardo.

Peta2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

Arrived late in Canberra, but Ricardo still picked me up from the station. It was a very pleasant stay at his place. Friendly, generous, very helpful. Would like to return

Eric2015-09-09T00:00:00Z

Ricardo is a great host. The room and ensuite are very clean I and comfortable. Location is perfect very close walking distance to restaurants, markets and shops.

Sarah2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

Ricardo was very welcoming. The stay was very pleasant. I needed the place on very short notice and Ricardo was able to have it organised very efficiently. The place was very clean and had all the amenities one would need in a short or a long term stay. The room was very comfortable with modern designs and an ensuite. The description of the listing is accurate. The area is a short walk to the shops and a short drive into the city. It is in a great location. Highly recommendation.

I loved my stay at Ricardo's. Beautiful room and house (amazing collection of contemporary art), nice ensuite bathroom and desk in bedroom. Ricardo is really relaxed but always available to assist. The location is great. Off Wentworth ave so no noise, close to Brodburger and the Kingston shops etc. Thanks Ricardo.
